(499)▪︎[ The Last, Past … 12•4•2020 ]

[ The Past ]
[ Is What You Want To Leave Behind ]
[ But If You Think About What You Thought About Last ]
[ You Have To Think With Your Re-Mind ]

[ Remind Yourself Of What You Last Did ]
[ From Maybe Yesterday ]
[ But Not As Far Back As When You Were Being
A Kid ]

[ Memories Can Be Good, Or Bad ]
[ They Take You Back To When You Were Happy ]
[ Or Sad ]

[ Not All Memories Are About Good Times ]
[ Just Like ]
[ I Am Not Always Happy About All Of The Finished Rhymes ]

[ Time & Time Again, It Just Didn’t Sound Right ]
[ & When It Is Put In The Morning Light ]
[ I’m Not Always Happy With What I Write ]

[ I Am Not 100% Satisfied Everytime ]
[ Because I’ll Start Out Good ]
[ When I Begin A Rhyme ]

[ & Then It’s The Thought That I Lose ]
[ Sometimes It Is Because Of The Words ]
[ That I Choose ]

[ Most Of The Time Nothing Went Wrong ]
[ Because Of The Words That I Chose ]
[ The Thought Was Never Gone ]

(385)▪︎[ Look Past Your Past … 5•2•2021 ]

[ Sometimes You Must Look @ Your Past ]
[ To Help What You Do In The Future, Last ]

[ It Is Much Easier To Go In With Experience & Knowledge
     Than To Go In Blindly ]
[ Having No Knowledge May Not Treat You, Very Kindly ]

[ But From What You Surmise ]  
[ Would A Surprise ]
[ Be Very Wise? ]

[ Sometimes Life Can Become A Guessing Game ]
[ When The Same ]
[ Name ]
[ Will Not Be The Right One To Blame ]

[ Why Shouldn’t The Same ]
[ Name ]
[ Be The One To Blame? ]

[ Then You Have The Pain To Move Up & Down Your Chest ]
[ Should You Think To Do What’s Best? ]
[ Or Should You Think That You Are Going Through A Cardiac
     Arrest? ]
[ Maybe You Should Lay Down, Stretch Out, For A Long Rest ]

[ You Should Rest For The Next Day ]
[ When You Want To Have A Say ]

[ In What Comes Next ]
[ After You Read That Strange & Long Blubbering Text ]

[ You Ask (WHY WAS THAT SENT TO ME?) ]
[ You Have Never Met He Or She ]

[ But Maybe That Has Never Mattered ]

~ The End ~

(714)▪︎[ Make It A … Was … 8•25•2021 ]

[ Thoughts Come Into Your Mind & Just Roll Around ]
[ When They Stop, You Look Inward & Say (HEY, LOOK WHAT
     I FOUND!) ]

[ It Was A Thought That Became A Rhyme ]
[ When You Looked @ It, Was It Worth Your Time? ]

[ @ First You Said (NO) But Then You Said (YES) ]
[ You First Thought That It Was Just A Mess ]

[ But Then You Had A Different Thought ]
[ You Thought It Was Just (2) Words ]
[ But Then You Saw What You’ve Got ]

[ It Started Like That, Then It Became This ]
[ Every Now & Then It Becomes A Hit Or Miss ]

[ You Move Them Around ]
[ Then Flip Them Upside Down ]

[ About The Time You Were On The Fence ]
[ It All Started To Make Alot More Sense ]

[ It Was All  Because Of You ]
[ Seeing What You Wanted To Do ]

[ But As You Say It Back & Forth ]
[ Did The Thought Go South? ]
[ Or Did It Go North? ]

[ As You Read It With Your Own Two Eyes ]
[ Would This Make More Sense To The Girls? ]
[ Or To The Guys? ]

[ If This Is What You Surmise ]
[ Does This Come Out As A Complete Surprise? ]

[ As You Read Along The Dots ]
[ Does It Start Looking Like A Bunch Of Spots? ]
[ Some Clear ]
[ & Some Looking Like Polka-Dots ]

[ Is Everything Lining Up Right Where You Want It To? ]
[ Are You Going To Use Packaging Tape? ]
[ Or Super Glue? ]

[ Do You Know ]
[ If There Is The Correct Flow? ]

[ Does It Make Ripples In A Calm Pond? ]
[ Or Does It Make Everything In Life Feel All Wrong? ]

[ Nothing Should Play The Role Of The Big Rock ]
[ It Should Not Be As Boring As Listening To The Tic-Toc ]
[ Of The Wall Clock ]

[ If It Does ]
[ Then Hit The Delete Button ]
[ & Make It A (WAS) ]

O[ It Is Tough To Be Stuck In The Past ]
[ Watching Time Fly By You Really Fast ]

[ Do You Know ]
[ That It Is Okay To Let Go? ]

[ & Keep Moving On ]
[ Because The Fear Of The Future Will Never Be Gone ]

[ Step By Step ]
[ Move Your Right Than Your Left ]

[ Watch For The Potholes In The Road Up Ahead ]
[ Make Sure You Walk Around Them Instead ]

[ That Pothole Might Be Deep ]
[ The Road May Become Steep ]

[ One Foot In Front Of The Other ]
[ Exhale ]
[ Then Take Another ]

[ Soon The Finish Line Of This Particular Race Will Come
Into Your Sight ]
[ That’s When You’ll Know What You’ve Just Done, Is Right ]

[ Even If This Journey Started Out On The Wrong Foot ]
[ & Then You Walked Off, The Punch In The Gut ]

[ It Was Well Worth The Effort That You Put Into This ]
[ You Almost Checked Off Everything On Your Long List ]

[ This Gives You The Confidence To Do Another One ]
[ Knowing That Life Is Not Always Fun ]

~ The End ~
